New Years Sewing Resolution

We are leaving 2008 behind tonight. I feel really good about this years sewing projects. Albeit, I am comparing it to the year before when Sloan arrived and I felt so tired all the time I didn’t sew a thing, so the comparison bar was set very low.

Here is the latest project that is my New Years resolution. I made this airplane quilt for Rhys three years ago. I cut two quilts out at the same time: one for Rhys and one for his cousin A. Well, here we are three years later and I am finally pulling out the bag and sewing it together. I have been trying to set a goal of five or six planes a night and it has been going well. Now we are back in party mode I don’t think it is going to be touched during the New Years celebrations. Back to it soon though!

My other sewing resolution is I am trying to take a quilting class this year. Fingers crossed there is a space in the class I want and I can line up my babysitter at the correct time to make it happen. This is going to be my “thing” I do for me this year. I have a project that is going to really challenge me and I want to do it under the guidance of the quilt Yodas at Material Obsession.

I hope you have a safe, happy New Years. I will be traipsing out in the heat in a few hours with the family to sit on the harbour and enjoy the spectacular show that our Sydney puts on. Happy New Year and Happy Sewing in 2009 to all.
